Description Stanislav Brabec 2003-03-13 17:39:55 UTC 
If some window app declares, that it is transient for its parent, it causes
desktop hang.

How to reproduce:
Run k3bsetup and click only forward (k3b-0.8.1, kdelibs3-3.1.1, SuSE 8.2beta).

Reason:
Transient loop detection logic is too simple to detect advanced loops.

Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2003-03-13 17:42:38 UTC 
Attached patch detects loop by loop count, not by self transiency.
Works for me.

Thanks to Lubos Lunak for debugging.

Doh - just finished fixing the same thing for Mandrake. ;-)
